# SISFC

Gem Version Build Status Code Climate

SISFC (Simulator for IT Service in Federated Clouds) is a simulator designed to reenact the behaviour of IT services in federated Cloud environments.

Installation

As SISFC was developed in Ruby, you will first need a working Ruby interpreter. Once you have Ruby installed, you can install SISFC through RubyGems:

gem install sisfc

While SISFC should work on MRI and Rubinius without problems, we highly recommend you to run it on top of JRuby. Since JRuby is our reference development platform, you will be very likely to have a smoother installation and usage experience when deploying SISFC on top of JRuby.

Usage

To run the simulator, simply digit:

sisfc simulator.conf vm_allocation.conf

where simulator.conf and vm_allocation.conf are your simulation environment and vm allocation configuration files respectively.

The examples directory contains a set of example configuration files, including an R script that models a stochastic request generation process. To use that script, you will need R with the VGAM and truncnorm packages installed.

Note that the SISFC was not designed to be run directly by users, but instead to be integrated within higher level frameworks that implement continuous optimization (such as BDMaaS+).
